I had an argument with my friend about what hands are acceptable to call raises from in the SB and button.

Is it too loose in a 6-handed game against typical 2-4 opposition who overvalues hands postflop, to call 3x raises in teh SB with hands liek 87o, 64s, Q9o?

On the button, with a raiser, and a caller, is it too loose to call raises with hands like 34s, Q9o, A2s, A9o. What abouyt A2o, K9o

And finally, what about full ring?

i dont think id make any of those calls.

Small blind your out of position throughout the entire great.

on the button out of 34s, Q9o, A2s and A9o, if i had to call with one of these, although i wouldnt, it would be 34s.
A2, A9 and Q9 all could be dominated. depends on what the opponent raises to 3xBB with and what range of hands the caller would make that call with, but no, i wouldnt call with any of them.

if the blinds werent calling stations id raise on the button if its folded round to me with A9o.

Yes, I think its too loose. If I make any of those calls it has nothing to do with my cards. I'm doing it because I'm making a move and the cards don't matter at all anyway.
